Yes!!!! There is no way you two don't like this one! I'd say this is a sure thing! Psyched!

This is such a great film. So many actors you may recognize including a young Cynthia Nixon!

Filmed in Prague rather than Vienna, as Prague suffered very little WWII damage and also wasn't much modernized under communist rule, thus it retains much 18th-C architecture and cobbled streets. Milos Forman later directed Valmont, an adaptation of the same story as Dangerous Liaisons (just one year apart). Both movies have great casts; it would be interesting to watch and compare them.

Joe, I know you're a Criterion guy....who loves Milos Forman! Definitely snatch up his early Czech work if you come across it (they're both on Criterion): "Loves Of A Blonde" (1965) and especially "The Fireman's Ball" (1967)! ALSO: another essential Forman movie from 1980: "Ragtime". Devastating, stacked cast, amazing period piece. If you see those while DVD shopping, snatch 'em up!
